Driving the NX SUV ఐఎస్ fun

I have been planning to buy a Lexus for many years. The test drive experience was indeed great, and that's why I am sharing what I liked and disliked about NX. Here are a few things that I appreciate, NX is easy to drive on city roads, packed with hundreds of features, seats are spacious, and the infotainment system is crisper. While in terms of cons, I didn't find many features useful, and also the boot space is quite cramped and low than other SUVs in the range. So if the last two points don't bother you much, then Lexus NX is a good SUV from every other aspect. Mainly, when it comes to the safety of passengers, Lexus NX is one of the best SUVs that you can get. Apart from next-gen safety features, the reliability score of NX is much better than its rivals. But, I would say that you should first test drive it and spend some time with it, and I can vouch that you can't resist becoming a fan of this SUV.

NX is undoubtedly a winner in the tough competition. I was looking for an SUV with futuristic design, capacious room, powerful engine, and premium comfort. After having a test drive of NX 300h Luxury, Audi Q5, and BMW X3, I can say that Lexus NX 300h is the only SUV that ticks all the boxes in my checklist. However, it?s a little downrated by car experts. But, after driving it, I don't think if all those ratings are even valid. There are two things that I liked the most about this SUV, first is its seamless automatic transmission and the other is the interiors of NX. Also, the safety features that keep you guarded are appreciable. Apart from all this, NX being an SUV is bigger than other rivals. In the starting days, I faced a bit of difficulty while parking it, but thanks to the Park Assist system for providing me with precise guidance.

Before making the purchase, I have thoroughly researched all the SUVs in the segment. Though, I also liked the Acura and Volvo. But, Lexus NX is beyond the competition. It's the premium feeling of the NX that held my interest. Shifting gears with paddle shifters is engaging and gives a responsive and high-end performance as you change the gear. Also, what influenced me further is its the NVH levels are the lowest in the segment. It means the cabin remains silent even while driving on harsh Indian roads. With its dynamic looks, I think that it's one of the SUVs in India that steals the show.

The hybrid drive system of Lexus NX SUV gives you great acceleration and an immediate twist. I really enjoy its driving. On highways, it provides you with the full advantage of its energy. It gives you 14 to 15 km of fuel efficiency. The five modes of driving, perform with the situation and are very useful, which makes you feel terrific. It is the magnificent experience of driving the NX300h. Driving in the city is also excellent and overtaking is easy with the normal and electric mode both. I'm fully satisfied with this car as the way it responded to the A-pedal is impressive.

Lexus NX might be new for Indian roads. But, it's an SUV that you can go for with your both eyes blindfolded. NX is something that many people in India miss while purchasing a family SUV. I have taken the test drive of almost all the SUVs in the range, and I liked the hybrid performance of the Lexus NX. Notably, its peppy and responsive powertrain makes me go aww. NX is a perfect SUV for exploring adventures. Even on the poor Indian road conditions, it feels comfortable to ride in this SUV. I will prefer Lexus NX to the buyers who want peace of mind, without compromising with the performance or luxury. Notably, the cabin is loaded with high-grade intuitive, passenger comfort, and convenience features. That's something that any of us can trade when paying a lot of money.

Though it is not a concern for me and my family, we are all short-height. However, it came to light when one of my friends who is 6'2" grabbed the rear seat. The entire way, he pointed out scarce head-room. He even raised his fingers at my car buying choice. We never realized it was such a big concern. Even though I love what I drive and satisfied with my buying decision but his words a couple of days made me re-think. This is something that Lexus should take into account.

The NX delivers great performance. I personally enjoy driving it as it offers instant torque and great acceleration. Another great thing is its fuel-efficiency which is not compromised by its excellent driving dynamics. The car is fitted with several smart features that help deliver a smooth and efficient drive like the Stop & Start system that shuts off the engine when the car is ideal or the EV drive mode that uses an electric motor for a zero-emission drive.

I have been driving the Lexus NX for a few months now and I am extremely happy with the car. One of the great things about it is the entertainment system and it always sets my mood. Apart from the radio, it comes with a DVD Player, USB, AUX, and iPod Playback that lets me play my favorites. Also, the 14 speakers all around the cabin create an amazing party-like environment.
